I flew number ten on my circle today,Roy flew right before me and the wind was starting to pick up and swirl,, It was pretty unstable by the time I flew,, it was pretty unsettled above about 30 degrees. On the good side, I got to see how pretty the top and bottom of my wing is while its flying,, ( not really what I wanted though,, LOL) I started to lean overhead in the eights so I managed to make the first loop of the clover ( to get my ten points) and it quit,, out of fuel.... ... .. . put me in a bad place to the wind, I flew it down to the ground a bit abrupt and it bounce,, lets just say ten feet high with no airspeed in the wind is a BAD BAD place to be,, ( I could hear the onlookers making gasping noises LOL) I managed to float it back down and got it on the ground in one piece, so I was relieved greatly,,, from ten foot altitude to landed the plane only moved about 5 or 10 feet forward,, all I can say is,, #1 WHEW<<<
and #2, NEVER underestimate the importance of absolutly drag free controls,, thats the only thing that let me save it....
what an adventure,, What an event,,
